APMiami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen looks over his shoulder during the home opener baseball game with the Philadelphia Phillies Monday, April 9, 2012, in Philadelphia.

Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen caught the media's attention last week when he said that after away games he goes to the hotel bar, gets drunk and goes to sleep. But his comment was quickly forgotten when he was quoted in an Internet edition of TIME magazine saying, "I love Fidel Castro."

The first-year Miami manager also told TIME that he respects the Cuban dictator because "a lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that (SOB) is still here."

Guillen, who was born in Venezuela, has repeatedly apologized for his comments -- first on Saturday in Cincinnati and most recently today in Miami following the Marlins' announcement of his five game suspension.

"Be assured that I'm against [the way] that [Fidel Castro] thinks, the way he treats [the Cuban] people and how he has treated their country for a long time," he told reporters Saturday. "I'm against it 100 percent. I'm not crazy or stupid or ignorant to say that I love anybody. Not only has he hurt the Cuban people, but many others, including Venezuela. To those who were hurt or misunderstood or [took] it the way they want to take it, to those people I will apologize. I will apologize if I've hurt someone's feelings. I am 100 percent against the way this man has treated people for the past 60 years."

On Tuesday morning in Miami, Guillen blamed translation for issues for some of his comments.

"I don't want to make excuses," he said. "But I meant that I was surprised Fidel Castro stayed in power so long. That's what was missing in the translation. ... I'm not saying the journalist was wrong. I was wrong. I was thinking in Spanish and I said it wrong in English."

The Marlins organization, which recently opened its new stadium in an area of Miami known as Little Havana, released a statement saying there is nothing to respect about Castro.

"He is a brutal dictator who has caused unthinkable pain for more than 50 years, the organization said. "We live in a community filled with victims of this dictatorship, and the people in Cuba continue to suffer today."

According to USA Today, Guillen has lived among Miami's Cuban population for 12 years.

The Miami Herald reported Monday that the Cuban exile group Vigilia Mambisa is calling for Guillen's resignation and will protest at noon Tuesday at Marlins Park.

Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman Joe Martinez, who's running for Mayor of Miami, also called for Guillen's job. In a letter to Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, Martinez said Guillen's comments were "a slap in the face of those who have fought oppression in this community and everywhere in the world."

"I do not believe his apology was heartfelt and it was forced upon him when the team realized that immediate damage control was necessary," Martinez wrote.

Guillen has a history of controversial behavior during his managerial career. In 2006, Major League Baseball fined him an undisclosed amount and ordered him to take sensitivity training after he used a derogatory, homophobic slur aimed at Chicago Sun-Times writer Jay Mariotti.

USA Today reported that in 2005, Guillen appeared twice on the radio show of controversial Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. The manager of the World Series champion Chicago White Sox said he liked the president and that it was an honor speaking to him. After the Marlins hired Guillen last September, however, he said he never supported Chavez and has never spoken to him.

In 2010, Guillen spoke out about the treatment of Latino players in professional baseball. He said Asian players have privileges, such as translators, that Latino players do not. He also said that Major League Baseball does not care about teaching young Latino players to stay away from performance-enhancing drugs.

Guillen flew back to Miami after the Marlins' win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. He will address the media Tuesday in a 10:30 a.m. press conference at Marlins Park.

"I was planning to do something Friday, but [Tuesday] we have the day off, and I want to make everything clear so people can talk to me face to face," Guillen said. "They can ask me whatever questions they want, and the sooner the better for the people, for the ball club and for me. I want to tell people what is going on in my mind and what I believe."
